"A retreat from the crowds"

My girlfriend and I wanted to visit Penzance and some of the attractions in and the area. I choose Boskednan farm because it was close to Penzance yet tucked away near the moor. We really enjoyed the rural setting and were happy to be only five or minutes away town. Read less

Likes:

The host was very friendly and helpful. She pointed us towards some attractions we might not have seen. Being close to the moor and its historical sites was a plus for us.

Dislikes:

Heading up to Boskednan you are part of the way on a single track . . . this concerned me at first but the locals drove at a reasonable speed and all went well.

Likes:

Landlady was very welcoming and loaned us a much needed cushion for the Minnack. Accommodation very comfortable and quiet.

Dislikes:

We were expecting a normal English breakfast but that provided was good enough. Directions on the email or a sign somewhere would have helped find the place. Small TV in lounge commandeered by others.
